Product Description
A 5.2 ft faux bird of paradise with 12 leaves per plant, sold as a set of two. Leaves insert into the branches and adjust by hand for a natural, spread-out shape.
Bird of paradise is grown for its broad, upright leaves on a tall, banana-like stem — a bold architectural shape that reads well in pairs, flanking an entryway or filling two corners of a room with matching height and leaf count.
Trunk and pot construction aren't detailed for this particular set, so the two plants are best judged on the numbers that are confirmed: 5.2 ft tall, 12 leaves each, sold together as a pair.

Two artificial bird of paradise plants, or one real one?
| This set of 2 | One live Strelitzia | |
|---|---|---|
| Light required | None | Several hours of direct sun daily, or leaves grow narrow and stay split |
| Coverage | Two plants, useful for flanking an entryway or a pair of corners | One plant per pot; a matched pair means buying and growing two |
| Leaf splitting | None; leaves hold their moulded shape | Splits naturally along the ribs — healthy on the plant, reads as damage in a photograph |
| Cost, year one | Paid once, at purchase, for two plants | Plus pots for both |
| Winter behaviour | Unaffected | Dry, heated Canadian winter air shreds and browns the leaf edges |
Only real light and years of growth produce Strelitzia's namesake flower, which no artificial version will ever give you — the honest reason to choose the live plant if that bloom is the point.
What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?
Setup is inserting the leaves into the branches and adjusting them by hand — simpler than a fully pre-shaped tree, but still worth budgeting real time for on a broad-leaf species, especially across two plants.
Because this ships as a set of two, expect two separate boxes or one larger shared box; inspect both plants individually rather than assuming a check on one covers the pair. Shipping damage — a bent stem or a split leaf insert — is the most common complaint in this category, so check both before you accept delivery and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further.
Who should not buy this?
- Direct outdoor sun or an uncovered patio. This piece is best suited to indoor or covered placement.
- Buyers who only need one plant. This sells as a fixed set of two. If you only want one, check our other single-plant bird of paradise listings instead.
Common questions
What is this plant made of?
The foliage is described as adhesive cloth.
How many leaves are on each plant in the set?
12 leaves per plant, so 24 leaves total across the set of two.
Can I put this outdoors?
It's suited to both indoor and outdoor placement, but with no UV rating stated, a covered or partly sheltered spot is the safer choice over full, unshaded sun.
Can I buy just one plant instead of the set of two?
Not on this product — it's sold specifically as a 2-piece set at one combined price, with no single-plant option. If you only need one bird of paradise plant, check our other listings in this species, several of which sell as a single unit, and compare the per-plant price before deciding.
